Character: Gale (Dekarios) of Waterdeep Canon: Baldur's Gate 3; mid Act III. Armada: Paladin
About: Gale is a Wizard with a capital W, meaning magic is his entire life and his whole heart. He is a former prodigy who was found so talented that he drew the attention of Mystra, goddess of magic, and went on to become her Chosen as well as her lover, until he defied her in the name of his own ambition and their relationship came to a swift end. He continues to pay the price for his ambitions and tampering with forbidden magic, but even tired and worn down as he is, he is a pleasant personality who puts on a good face when possible and is thrilled to discuss a good book or chat about magic theory whenever he gets the chance. He's also accompanied by his assistant/familiar Tara, who is a tressym— basically a magical talking, flying cat. More information can be found at his app and the BG3 Wiki!
Abilities: Gale will regain access to his spell list with the tattoo, as well as some very limited psychic ability thanks to the 'present' he was given by the Mindflayers that took him captive at the start of his canon. While I don't have any set ideas about what new abilities I want him to develop, Gale himself will be intensely interested in exploring those possibilities as they reveal themselves, because he feels all knowledge is worth having and honestly, he won't be able to help himself.
PLANS
General: He's brand new, so settling in and finding a niche for himself among the Paladins! Trying to make his living space his own, adapting to life as part of the armada, making new friends, pinning down the location of every single bookstore and curio shop. MANTA Board: There are definitely quests that appeal to him! So far, I'm looking at: 📜 Spellbound Circuitry (this is made for him) 📜 Thinking With Portals 🛡️ Fountain of Blades 🛡️ Stress-Testing Substitute Dolls 🛡️ Vexing Verse ⚔️ Untitled Goose Bounty Event: I will most likely be tagging out since I top-leveled on the TDM and am continuing those threads. For the open log, Gale will be most interested in helping the injured leviathans to recover, so any efforts towards that will have his attention. He'll also likely participate in the cook-off, since he's quite good in the kitchen and would be happy to lend his aid through something he enjoys so much.
CR Dreams: He's new, so anything goes! Gale is obviously big on magic and academics in general, but he is very passionately dedicated the idea that anyone who wants to learn magic should have the opportunity, so if your character is just trying it for the first time here or curious about it in general, he would be very happy to be a mentor of sorts. He also is going to want friends to play chess with, Tara knows all of his moves now.
